Patent EP-0194448-B1 (EP)
IPC: G04B21/00
Filed: 1986-02-07
Granted: 1990-09-05
Abstract: In a clock provided with a mechanical drive for the going train and having one or more striking mechanisms controlled by the going train, the motion regulator of the going train comprises a quartz-controlled stepping mechanism whose arbor is in drive connection with the wheelwork of the going train via an escapement. The connection insures that each step of its arbor releases the going train subject to the torque of the mechanical drive for a defined angle. Thereby it becomes possible to use for the going train a commercial, i.e. low-torque, quartz controlled stepping mechanism and yet to have available the torques required for the control of one or more striking mechanisms. It is of advantage if, between the arbor of the stepping mechanism and the wheelwork of the going train gear, elements in the form of a pallet controlled by a cam plate or in the form of a worm wheel engagement are provided, which gear elements remain in self-lock but are releasable from the self-lock by the arbor.

Abstract: A dual hybridization assay method for detecting the presence of a particular polynucleotide sequence in a test sample wherein hybridization is accomplished in a solution phase. Two soluble polynucleotide probes are employed which hybridize to mutually exclusive portions of the sequence to be detected. The first, or separation, probe comprises a reactive site for a reaction partner, preferably a binding site (e.g., biotin) for a binding substance (e.g., avidin). After hybridization, the resulting solution is contacted with an immobilized form of the reaction partner whereby dual hybrids comprising the sequence to be detected and the detection and separation probes become immobilized. The immobilized fraction is then separated and the detection probe determined in one of the separated fractions. Preferably, the detection probe is labeled such as with a specifically bindable ligand, e.g., biotin or a hapten, and is detectable by binding of a labeled binding partner, e.g., enzyme-labeled avidin or antibody. The assay method has the advantages of a dual hybridization technique plus the kinetic and manipulative advantages of a solution-phase assay.

Title: Method of enlarging/reducing dithered images
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1986-06-11
Granted: 1991-01-16
Abstract: A method of enlarging/reducing a dithered image obtained from a rastered gray level image by means of a dither matrix consisting of a unique combination of thresholds, consisting of the following steps: 
 
  a) defining contiguous input areas of b x b pixels in the dithered image, which input areas have to be imaged with a conversion factor of a/b on output areas of a x a pixels, 
  b) determining that standard pattern which most closely approximates the average gray level of the dither pattern in the input area, from a series of standard patterns each obtained by dithering, with a first dither matrix, an area filled uniformly with a unique gray level, 
  c) determining the pixels in the input area which deviate from the determined standard pattern, 
  d) generating, for each output area, by means of a second dither matrix, a standard pattern corresponding to the gray level determined for the corresponding input area, 
  e) determining, for each of the deviating pixels in an input area, by linear transformation, the co-ordinates of a corresponding pixel in the output area and allocating that pixel in the output area the same level as the deviating pixel in question in the input area. 
 
<??>In this method the information content of the original image remains substantially unaffected, the occurence of Moiré distortion is avoided and the signal/noise ratio of the image is only affected insignificantly.

Abstract: A support assembly is provided which is intended to be capable of use particularly for supporting equipment used in medical technology. Such support assemblies are subject to the problem that sensitive supply lines must be guided through the parts of the support assembly which can move relative to one another. The design of the supporting assembly is complicated to avoid damaging these lines. Furthermore, springs and, if necessary, a brake are provided to compensate for weights. In order that the supply lines are guided in a protected manner and, at the same time, that the compensating springs and, if required, brake, are easily accessible from the outside as replaceable parts, the support assembly has a hollow space for carrying the supply lines and a compression spring for mass compensation. One bearing for the compression spring is connected to the outside of the support assembly arm and the other is connected to the moving part, such that the spring is arranged outside the hollow space. <IMAGE>

Title: Data processing system with pluggable option card
IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 1988-03-08
Granted: 1993-06-02
Abstract: A data processing system includes a central processing unit (CPU), a main memory unit, and input/output (I/O) sockets, each adapted to receive a selected one of a plurality of different and/or similar option cards. Each card contains (or is connected to) and controls a respective peripheral device, and each card is pre-wired with an ID value corresponding to its card type. Programmable option registers on each card store parameters such as address information, priority levels, and other system resource parameters. A setup routine, during initial power-on, retrieves and stores the appropriate parameters in the I/O cards and also in socket locations in main memory, one location being assigned to each input/output socket. Each socket location is adapted to hold the parameters associated with the card inserted in its respective socket and the card ID value. That portion of main memory containing the socket locations is adapted to maintain the parameter and ID information by means of battery power when system power fails or is disconnected, i.e., a non-volatile memory portion. Subsequent power-on routines are simplified by merely transferring parameters from the memory to the card registers if the status of all the sockets has not changed since the last power-down.

Abstract: In order to maintain a predetermined three-phase voltage system at the output terminals (L1, L2, L3) of a transformer device TE without a connected primary star point (e.g. a transformer in delta/star connection), even when an asymmetric load is connected thereto and to the star point on the secondary side, single-phase transformers are used whose primary windings are supplied from a pulse-width modulated three-phase invertor in a bridge circuit. The actual values of the line voltage (UL1', UL2') on the secondary side form the control voltages (UA<*>, UB<*>, UC<*>) for each pair of bridge arms by means of voltage controllers (REA, REB). The control loops of the three phase voltages are disentangled on the basis of the structure of the transformation device by means of an organising element (EF). The nominal values can be synchronised to a synchronising voltage, and/or current regulation for the conductor currents is superimposed on the voltage controllers. <IMAGE>
